Black Islam 

A religious movement originating in the 1930s in the USA. Black Islam (also known as Farrakhanism for its current leader or Nation of Islam) was founded by Wallace Fard Muhammad in response to whites' racism. It is not true Islam, and takes its beliefs from Christianity and Islam and Elijah's personal beliefs (not to be unfair, but it's true). It holds that the Bible and the Qu'ran are equal in authority and teaches that blacks must do anything to get back at the white man for revenge. It gained a pretty large following, but I think membership has declined since its birth, I'm not too sure. Some members were quite active in politics, e.g. Malcolm X (he changed his name from his "slave name" Malcolm Little). However, after Malcolm was true to his faith and took his hajj to Mecca, he came back a changed man. There he had learned true Islam and converted to Muhammad's (pbuh) preached religion, as well as bringing Muhammad Ali} with him. Malcolm X changed his name to El-Hajj Malik Al-Shabazz and quit the Nation of Islam, for which he was later assassinated, some believe (the assassination; he definitely became a Sunni Muslim).

Anyway, one of Wallace's disciples, Elijah Poole (who later became Elijah Muhammad) started to preach that Wallace Fard was the Messiah, and God in person form (like Christians' view of Jesus).

If there are any Black Muslims out there reading this, feel free to correct me or add anything.

Black Islam is a religious as well as socio-political organization to improve the welfare of African Americans. It has been called sexist, homophobic, and racist, but also has been praised as helpful to black businesses and for improving inner city neighborhoods.

Block Island 

Block Island is a beautiful place to live, and I'm totally biased considering I've lived here over 10 years. In the winter, the kids all go to a normal public school just like anyone else would, and they take a regular bus just like any other kids would. When summer starts to roll around, we begin shunning and make a mockery of the tourists because every summer, the island is infested with people who have never driven mopeds, but try it anyway, and snobby rich people who think they can do whatever they want. At night, all the drunks poke out of their caverns and make disgusting fools of themselves.

Other than that, Block Island is wonderful. We've got beaches. But seriously, not all the people who live here are loaded. We don't all own billions of houses. This place is really fucking expensive, and it sucks ass, but it's worth it because there's not that many people. It's a small town, full of typical working people who have typical incomes, and some not so well off, and if anyone tries to say that the island is full of rich, snobby, stuck up kids, again, I will personally find them and teach them a lesson.

In conclusion, do not judge the island based off of the tourists. You have to actually live here to know what the hell you're talking about.

Islander teenager: Well it's almost summer, you know what that means.

Island teenager 2: ugh yeah, hot people who are completely unavailable and drunken idiots and tourists who have no idea what the hell they're doing on Block Island

IT: I love when they ask how to get someplace *laughter*

IT2: I know right?! It's like, buddy, walk in a straight line, or follow the main road. You'll get there easily. Trust me. Haha

block island 

Take the whole roll of toilet paper, and clog the toilet with an impenetrable wad. Now arch your hips, and let out a steaming vile pile of the most foul rodent your stomach can wrestle. This lets the your stinky meatload airiate into the most gut-wrenching treasure trove anyone could find!

When I came into the cabin I saw 2 campers running out laughing, it took not more than one breath to realize our cabin smelled like rotten sewage. When i looked into the toilet was when i realized us rollerbladers had fallen victim to what I had later learned was known as the block Island.

I feel bad for whoever had to un-clog that messy pot of mumbo-gumbo.

Block Island Giraffe

When your chick is so tall that she has to open the hatch on your boat to stick her head out to ride your shaft.

I had this chick in my ocean yacht the other night that was so tall she had to do the Block Island Giraffe on me. People walking by on the dock were watching in disbelief as she rode up and down on my long shaft with her head above deck.

Also known as the ocean yacht trot.

block island 

A small, 7x3 island off the coast of Rhode Island, known for being a popular summer destination for big shot yahoos on yachts and wealthy moms who like to wear clothes with tiny whales on them and watch their spoiled children play tennis and sail. Where boat parties happen nightly in the summer and the rich island kids live easy lives, spending their time smoking marijuana and going to the beach and living in 1 million+ homes. A summer town that seems to come out of a movie, it is filled with summer tourists, skinny drug dealing island kids, and idiots on mopeds. It's also known for having rich stuck up people who think they're better than the rest of the world because they live in a mansion on an island where they spend two months out of the year in, while the rest of the "poor" world spends their time in the continental US in the one home they own

I almost got run over by a speeding trophywife soccer mom in a massive SUV, then again by a drunk guy on a moped!

You must have been on block island

block island girls 

Block Island girls are special. They’ve grown up on the beach with the sand between their toes and the salty air in their hair. Their summer days are spent chilling on the beach and their nights are full of parties or bonfires and long drives around the island jamming and singing at the top of their lungs. These girls have a chill vibe and and know how to keep the good times rolling. Block Island girls are tan hot girls who have a down to earth vibe and know how to party. Block Island girls are the best kinda girls.

Yo those block island girls are mad hot.
